David Flood is four years into his training career, having set up his yard in 2021, and the numbers so far tell the story of a man still building. Two winners from 32 runners this season — that's roughly 1 in every 16 races — is a modest return, but it reflects where most small operations sit in their early years. Getting horses to the track consistently is half the battle, and Flood is doing that.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most notable thread running through his recent work is his partnership with Man Is King, a horse he has sent out seven times. One win from those seven races isn't a dominant record, but the fact that Flood keeps returning to this horse suggests a trainer who knows his string well and is patient enough to find the right opportunities. In a yard still finding its feet, that kind of persistence matters.
At 6% — one winner in every sixteen or seventeen runners — Flood sits below the industry average, but four years in, with a small operation, the trajectory is what counts. Trainers at this stage are learning which races suit their horses, which tracks reward their methods, and how to get the best out of limited resources. The foundation is there. The winners will come.
